If you are calling internationally from India, first dial 00, followed by the country code (1 for the U.S. and Canada), area code, and local number.
Making phone calls from hotels in India can be pricey, particularly if they are long-distance. As an alternative, seek out the yellow ISD/STD signs (the acronyms stand for “International Subscriber Dialing” and “Standard Trunk Dialing”). These are reasonably priced facilities where your call is monitored by a computer system.
Though they often offer only slow service, Internet cafes are plentiful. Try to find Sify i way (www.iway.com) and Reliance Webworld (www.relianceinfo.com) Internet centers. Both offer much faster broadband connections than average stand-alone establishments.
